I really need help of someone who knows what's that mean. My missed miscarriage at 8,5 weeks but baby died probably a week ago. I had my natural miscarriage and passed sac and placenta on December 5th Tuesday, I was bleeding almost till Saturday same week. Sunday bleeding stopped, but still had spots till now. I did pregnancy test on Sunday and was positive and dark. Today is December 13 I did pregnancy test and it has very light second line. Right after I did ovulation test and it's really dark. Is it possible to ovulate that much fast after a week I passed my sac and placenta? I don't want to get pregnant that faster ?? Pink and red tests are pregnancy and blue one is ovulation.

sorry for your loss dear.... I don't have experience but I have been searching on this since I want to find out when will I ovulate. from all the googling, yes it is possible to ovulate immediately and your pregnancy test does not have to be negative for ovulation to start but they say you should at least wait for one period cycle. I am too scared to take the ovulation test at the moment. I hope you recover soon and can have a healthy baby soon.... take care

Sorry for your loss. I also had a missed miscarriage on November 2nd at 8.5 weeks with the baby only growing to 6w5d. It was devastating!

To answer your questions it is likely that the pregnancy test is picking up leftover HGC hormones from your loss, and ovulation tests will give you a false positive if you still have this hormone in your systems so I would not trust it either. Is your doctor following up your levels to zero?

In my case, my levels went down to zero exactly three weeks after the miscarriage. Every pregnancy test I took before this was positive. I then ovulated three days after my first negative and had my first period post m/c exactly two weeks after ovulation (last Sunday Dec 10th).

However, I've heard of women who ovulate with leftover hormones still in their systems but it has to be below 25 for this to happen I believe.

@first-timemom18 Thank you for your reply. I didn't know that and now really scared. So, my ovulation test is darker then pregnancy test and there is a possibility that I am ovulating. My doctor said to wait two periods before trying again. Even if I feel great now and recovered I know that my body inside still needs time before getting pregnant again. Thank you for your nice wishes.

@kucuy Thank you for your answer about my tests. And really sorry about your loss. I know how hard it is. My doctor is so careless, she didn't even suggest to follow my hormone levels till I asked her. She said that I am good I had natural miscarriage don't have pain or bleeding anymore. My test came good (she took samples to check if I have any infection) this Monday she took samples to check if I have any bacteria and she said that she just want to make sure. Also I give blood to check hormone levels and check my thyroid , I am sure I don't have any issues with my thyroid. Sorry for your loss again.

I had a 1 year old and 3 year old son when i miscarried my third pregnancy at 7 weeks. I had a natural miscarriage and my doctor told us that they suggest waiting 2 months but that there was no reason for us not to try again right away. I was 36 and concerned about being older. I used ovulation test kits and conceived 3 weeks after my miscarriage.

I was terrified, excited, worried and felt guilty to be celebrating this baby so soon after losing one. My daughter was born 1 month and 17 days after my due date with the baby I lost. I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter on that baby’s due date. It felt so weird to be carrying one baby while mourning the other. In honor of that baby I bought a balloon, went to the cemetery, wrote a message to my lost baby on the balloon, prayed and then let the balloon go. I felt so much more peace after saying goodbye to that baby.

I delivered a healthy baby girl shortly after that. I now have a healthy and happy 5 yo son, 3 yo son and 1 1/2 yo daughter.

I look at my daughter and can’t imagine our life without her, but it’s bittersweet because I wouldn’t have her if I hadn’t had a miscarriage.

I hope that my story can bring you some peace in knowing that you are not alone.

That's fantastic when I hear how people getting pregnant right after miscarriage. I can call it as a "miracle". You are lucky, blessed with baby girl after your loss and have two baby boys.

I am 34 and lost my first baby, by the way we buried our baby today in the big big park as a forest under the tree. I don't know if we did right putting baby in the plastic bag then in small box and bury ?? In the dark forest park.?!

I wish God will give me and all who lost their babies and want a baby, a healthy pregnancy and babies.
